Irrespective of who forms the new government in May 2019, this by far is a populist budget and any subsequent alterations will not be well received. #budget #budget2019

What I liked in the whole Budget presentation was Rahul Gandhi's face.
He knew 2019 is gone .#BudgetForNewIndia— WINGS OF FIRE (@shenoy70) February 1, 2019
Casteless quota and a bumper #Budget2019 have kicked off #Elections2019 campaign. At least 8-10 big developments will unfold in the coming days, I feel.
This takes years of planning and uncanny political timing and patience. #BudgetForNewIndia #BudgetForNewIndia— Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) February 1, 2019

Bottom Line: 90% of tax payers are under 5 lakh tax slab category so this is big big move by FM @PiyushGoyal & PM @narendramodi.
Ignore rest of the noise & propaganda by opposition on limits, rebates & exemptions etc.
This is truly #BudgetForNewIndia

Lot of confused posts and WA messages on #BudgetForNewIndia
So to clarify:
Tax slabs have not changed.
The biggest benefit (#ZeroTax) is for those whose taxable income after deductions, comes to under ₹5,00,000. Those 3,00,00,000 individual tax payers are celebrating the most— Kiran Kumar S (@KiranKS) February 1, 2019
